Today it’s the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. It was created in 2004 to draw the attention to the violence and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexuals, transgender, intersex people and all other people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.

The date of May 17th was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s (WHO) decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. It’s been only 30 years! To this day it’s still a huge taboo, and yes also in the Asian community. There are still so many topics we can’t talk about.

If you read in Dutch: “De Bananengeneratie” by Pete Wu is a really nice book. I’m also in it! In a lot of countries it’s not possible to marry who you love. I realised it’s a privilege that you can walk around with the one you love, be with the person(s) you want to be. It makes really sad that people can’t just be who they are. We still have a long way to go to make the world a more inclusive place. Accept no one's definition of your life: define yourself.

We should all be able to love who you want to love, without anyone screaming like you can’t. We should all be able to be themselves, without anyone judging. Power to all of the people who are openly gay, they are living and writing the history of the LGBTQ+ community! Love is love.

The character on my face says: "Love", and the background is my artwork I created.
